The Evoke Difference
Where Your Team Actually Wants to Work
Remote work retreats should do two things: get real work done and bring the team together. A hotel conference room does the first. A vacation does the second. Lake Norman does both. High-speed WiFi and multiple workspace areas for focused sessions. Private dock, hot tub, game room, and fire pit for the team bonding that actually sticks. Your team will be more productive because they actually want to be there.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the WiFi good enough for remote work? +
Yes. Both properties have high-speed internet suitable for video calls, screen sharing, and standard remote work. We recommend a mobile hotspot backup for mission-critical presentations.
How big should our team be? +
The estates sleep 22 but are ideal for work retreats of 8-15 people — enough workspace for everyone with room to spread out.
Can we set up a presentation/whiteboard space? +
The main living areas and dining rooms work well for group presentations. Large TVs are available for screen sharing. Bring a portable whiteboard for planning sessions.
What's the work/play balance? +
Most teams work mornings and early afternoons, then shift to team activities — dock time, boat rentals, fire pit, game room. The change of pace is what makes retreats effective.
How far is Charlotte for a team dinner out? +
About 35 minutes to Uptown Charlotte. Davidson and Cornelius have excellent restaurants much closer (15-25 min).
How do we book? +
Book directly through evokeluxuryproperties.com for the best rates — 15-20% less than third-party platforms. Select your dates, property, and submit an inquiry. We respond within hours.

Minimum stays vary by season — typically 2-3 nights on weekdays and 2-3 nights on weekends. Holiday periods may require longer minimums. Contact us for specific dates.
How far in advance should we book? +
For peak season (summer, holidays, event weekends), we recommend booking 2-4 months ahead. Off-peak dates often have more availability, but popular weekends fill quickly.
Can we do early check-in or late checkout? +
Early check-in and late checkout are available when scheduling permits. Let us know your preference and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Which property is better for our group? +
Port Royale is ideal if your group wants a movie theater, extensive game room, and iconic dock with swings. Emerald Cay is the choice for ultimate privacy — it's a 2-acre island estate with panoramic lake views and a hot tub overlooking the water. Both sleep 22.
